Just outside the window at Dad's place here in Florida...
...a grapefruit tree is serving up breakfast in the morning...
...and the most delicious fragrance all day long.
A few blossoms added to a dish of seashells bring the scent indoors.
We have had a fun week with temperatures
in the high 80's as well as the low 50's.
Several thrifty excursions and a wonderful day at the beach
yielded vintage treasures as well as a sack full of pretty shells.
More photos soon!
Happy Birthday to my big sister Lynn!
I love you, miss you and can't wait to see you next week!
Tomorrow Mr. Flea is taking me to Webster
for a morning of treasure seeking in the sunshine state!
:) yippee!
Hope you are having a great weekend!

We're having a lovely day here in So Cal, it's 81 today and I love it!
Have a wonderful day.

Oh WOW Laura,
What a delight to see and smell that every morning ....and then eat it !!!!
I'm afraid that, even in the Summer, we wouldn't be able to grow grapefruit, apart from in the greenhouse.
Happy birthday from me to your sister and have a great time with Mr Flea. XXXX
Sounds like a wonderful weekend, dearest Laura!
Wish you a great new week!
Warm hugs from Austria, Traude
I have never smelled a grapefruit blossom, but I remember as a senior in high school driving through mid Florida with some pals right through orange groves.
I have never experienced anything quite like that, it was intoxicating and such a blessing.
You are so very fortunate.
I love all the photos, but I especially love the one of the blossom and the shells! Awesome.
When is "dads" next opening at his house, Brawn wants to take me treasure hunting too!

wonderful pics...I can smell the blossoms and feel the sunshine!
Great scenery on a snowy day in Ohio. Love seeing honey bees.
I'm sure the grapefruit I had today was not as tasty as those. You lucky girl,

It makes me happy to know some people can be happy with such simple things in life. Have you read the book treasures of the Sea by Anne morrow lindbergh? A very great easy read on loving simple stuff
I recently moved from Arizona to Idaho. In Az we grew Grapefruit and Lemons. Thank you for your photos to bring me back to that place in March. I loved it.
Have a beautiful sunshine week! I can almost smell those grapefruit blossoms. Hugs! Florence

You mean grapefruits don't grow in those mesh bags at the grocer's?
Absolutely delightful.
